Overview:
The Knipex CoBolt 8in High Leverage Compact Bolt Cutters with Tethered Attachment deliver professional-grade cutting performance in a compact, lightweight package. Featuring an innovative lever mechanism that requires 60% less effort compared to conventional high-leverage diagonal cutters of the same size, these bolt cutters make quick work of hard wire, piano wire, bolts, screws, rivets, and nails. The 20-degree angled head improves access and visibility in tight spaces, while induction-hardened cutting edges at approximately 64 HRC ensure long-lasting sharpness and durability. A welded tether attachment point on the dual-component comfort grip provides fall protection for elevated work — an essential safety feature for scaffolding, ladders, and height applications. Made in Germany from chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened.
